Chapter Eighty-Seven: Destiny
"After a long absence, I suspect in a dream, love is in my heart, after the reunion, the delicate eyes are spreading, and the tenderness and sweetness are whispered in the brocade tent."
Lin Xueer and I, although we have been separated for several years, still have all kinds of tacit understanding.
We finished dinner together at the café and headed back to my accommodation.
Everything is so natural.
Until I woke up the next morning, everything after the reunion seemed to be still in a dream.
Lin Xue'er curled up on the bed delicately, as beautiful as a peach and plum.
Passion ignites the past, and all the memories become so beautiful.
Lin Xueer and I both realized that we had found each other's dream home.
"Don't you want to know, how did I find your contact information?" Lin Xue'er looked at me with a mischievous smile in her eyes.
"Does it matter?" I glanced up at the bright sunlight and stretched out on the bed, I hadn't slept so well in a long time, and yawned a little comfortably.
She tapped my forehead with her finger.
"You're never concerned about the details."
I laughed.
Indeed, it is very surprising that Lin Xueer can find my deliberately new phone number and take the initiative to contact me, however, this is not the key, nowadays, if you want to take the initiative to contact someone, there are thousands of ways.
At first, I thought she would find me through the iron head or a contact in her hometown, but this speculation was only a possibility, and now it has become irrelevant.
Lin Xue'er was lying comfortably on the bed, completely like a housewife returning home.
I like her relaxed and lazy demeanor, which is what the real Lin Xueer should have been like a few years ago.
The whole night was charming and lingering.
She seemed to be in a much better state of mind.
Maybe that's the magic of love.
"Great Power, do you know why I came back to you?" Lin Xue'er stretched her waist lazily, wrapped her arms around my shoulders, and asked softly.
"Because you can't forget me, you can't bear me." , I snorted, looked at her, and smiled to myself.
She gave me a strange look.
"You're right, I'm reluctant to you, but there is a more important reason, I haven't told you, I didn't listen to your persuasion in the past, I want to do something, I want to have a successful career, but it backfired, so many years, I have suffered a lot, and I have learned a lot of things, as I get a little older, I can't concentrate on doing things more and more, and I want to return to you, I only realize now that ordinary days are the real life!"
"I feel very down-to-earth with you!"
After she finished speaking, she sat up from the bed and looked at me seriously.
"Big country, let's get married!"
I know Lin Xueer's behavior habits very well, and I am mentally prepared in advance.
What she said suddenly still surprised me.
I sat up and grabbed her shoulders.
"You, what did you say?"
I don't know if it was because of my overreaction that stimulated Lin Xue'er, or if she couldn't suppress her excitement.
Two lines of tears slipped down Lin Xue'er's face.
"I mean, if you want, let's get married, shall we?!"
She repeated the words that had thundered to me just now.
When I got the confirmation message, I felt like my whole body was shaking.
"What you said is true?"
"Have you really decided to marry me?!"
"This ...... This is...... Great news. ”
"How could I, how could I disagree, what a stupid boy...... Silly boy!"
I was a little incoherent and hugged Lin Xue'er tightly in my arms, as if she would fly away.
"I, you want to marry me, it's something I can't ask for!"
"You, have you really thought about it? Are you sure you won't go again? ”
"Did you really decide to stay in Beijing and marry me?" I was still a little unready to accept the result I had dreamed of, and I looked at her, repeatedly confirming what she had just said, and I couldn't believe my ears.
Lin Xue'er snuggled quietly and obediently in my arms, her head against my chest, as if waiting for my mood to calm down.
"After we broke up abroad, I worked abroad for less than three years and then resigned, and without you, I couldn't survive that far alone."
"I also returned to Beijing later, but I didn't dare to tell you about my return as soon as I said that I wanted to be separated from you and become independent."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, not daring to look at my expression.
"At the beginning, I didn't plan to come back to you, first, after I just returned to Beijing, I had all kinds of things to do, and the pressure of work was too great, I started again, and I still had illusions, thinking that if I did a good job, I would definitely make a difference, and second, I lied to you, saying that I married a foreigner, I know you will definitely not forgive me!"
"However, I still couldn't hold on in the end, I felt very helpless alone in Beijing, time flies so fast, I also feel more and more, Beijing is so small, I am so close to you, I expect to see you on the street every day, I think about you every day, I want to return to you, I have been looking for you in the café and restaurant we used to go to recently, hoping to meet you unexpectedly, but unfortunately in the old place we used to go, I have never seen you!"
When she finished speaking, she began to cry, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Later, I realized little by little, you deliberately didn't go to those places, you must still have me in your heart, afraid of touching the scene, so you have been hiding from those sad places!"
She is right, these circumstances are indeed true, in the few years since I left Lin Xue'er, my life has indeed been indescribable in any words, I have been deliberately avoiding all the places I used to live with her, including selling the apartment where she once lived, what I am afraid of is to see things and think about people, and touch the scene!
"The longer I leave you, the more I feel like I can't even live without you, I love you so much! Do you know? I've been living with remorse and self-blame for the past few years! I've had such a hard time! ”
"Also, the money I repaid you back then, in fact, part of it was lent to me by my cousin, plus all the income from working abroad in my country, after repaying your money, I have little left, after returning to China, I found a job, barely able to make ends meet, and I can only rent a basement in Beijing, that time, is the saddest period of time, I thought, maybe we will never see each other again, the iron-headed brother-in-law They also think that if there is no possibility between us in the future, we must pay back all the money owed to you."
"It's just that I didn't expect that things were not as simple as I imagined, and it wasn't until later that I realized that it was difficult for me to live alone, not because I finished paying off my debt to you, which made me feel relaxed, on the contrary, I didn't think about it, I thought about you day and month, I realized that the reason why I am like this is because of the love debt between us, maybe I can't settle it in my life! You see, I finally made up my mind to come back to you. ”
Lin Xue'er talked about the past, and tears kept flowing.
Finally, gradually the voice of crying sounds.
I patted her on the weak back and gently soothed her.
Her experience of finding a job in Beijing and renting a basement was heartbreaking for me.
Although it was also an unbearable past for me as an old North drifter, I still can't let go of the thought that my beloved has also suffered like this.
"I used to imagine all kinds of situations after meeting you again, I was afraid that you would hate me, be cold to me, and can't forgive me, but now it seems that I am a mediocre person again, and I know now that you have always had me in your heart!"
Lin Xue'er's voice was soft, her face was full of joy, and her happy expression was overflowing.
On the contrary, after listening to her, I still couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in my heart.
I missed out on a lot of the good things in life.
We missed each other's best years of youth!
I have experienced such a separation between her and me, and although I still admire each other, I am afraid it will take a long time to return to the original intimacy.
I thought of her loneliness, helplessness, and frustration in her career.
I wasn't there when my lover needed me the most.
All of this is because of a girl's stubbornness to insist on self-reliance.
I am reflecting on the fact that Lin Xueer's past encounters are related to her character, and also related to the past she experienced with me in the past.
If she hadn't seen the struggles of my existence, maybe she would have shared the fruits of her labor with me.
She grew up in a poor family, had a strong personality, and imagined how urgent her ambition to achieve a career was.
I sponsored her to complete her education and witnessed her grow from a girl to a mature woman.
I saw her struggle for her future.
However, the reality is cruel after all.
It's not just about being ambitious.
She went through so many hardships and hardships, and finally came back to me exhausted.
I know in my heart that Lin Xue'er is no longer the willful child of the past, she is a rational mature woman.
Now, looking at her bird-like supple appearance in my arms, my heart is full of tenderness and love.
The past is an unforgettable experience.
Holding Lin Xue'er, thinking about the past and future, my heart is full of hope.
"Let's not mention the past, if you are willing to come back, we can be together, it's enough!"
I whispered to her.
Lin Xue'er nodded obediently.
"Shall we get married?"
She looked up into my eyes with a serious and determined look on her face.
It dawned on me that this sudden happiness was so real!
The feeling of happiness weighed on my heart, and even my breathing became tense and difficult.
I can't breathe with happiness!
Marrying Lin Xueer and staying together until old age is also my life's pursuit!
Eventually walk with your loved one, and you will feel that she will always be your home!
Regardless of the future of the world,
No matter how high or low.
"If everything goes well, if God really favors our mutual cherishing state of mind, what a perfect ending it would be to marry the person we love!"
Such a fate is not the fate that every ordinary person dreams of?
